I have a problem with task manager, in that the tabs at the top are missing. I think this happened after playing a game that crashed, ie I Alt-Tab-Deleted during the game a few times + pressed some oher keys and then turned off the main switch when nothing happened.
Since then, I cannt tab between the processes/applications/memory usage, etc. Did I minimise something by mistake - anyone know the keyboard shortcut to undo it? Or could it be something else?
By the way, when I log on with another account, there is no problem!

Ideas?

Welcome to Windrivers cjp

Start, run, type in
regedit
Click ok - when regedit starts, navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

On the right hand pane, find "coolswitch"
Right click coolswitch, click modify and in value data, type
1
Ok that and exit regedit, reboot.

Try Doubleclicking the edge of the taskmanager window.
